Autumnal Wedding - OCT 24

What the Pluck were the talk of the town on our wedding day. They were FANTASTIC. We cannot thank them enough. They are so talented. You must hire these beautiful people, you will not regret it. For our wedding day on 19th Oct, we had brilliant communication with Alex leading up to our special day and knew we had chosen well in trusting them with our special day. We booked for both the ceremony and welcome drinks and I wish they could have stayed all day.

Wedding - Lake District - Amazing Music

What the Pluck were amazing, they made the ceremony magical and even learned a new song for us to make it extra special.
All our guests commented on how amazing they played and how great the set list was.

Music to our ears!

Clare was perfect as our solo violinist, played all of our ceremony choices (which two weren’t on the repertoire) to absolute perfection. Couldn’t have asked for more.

Incredible string quartet!

Absolutely loved having the string quartet play at the wedding. We really appreciated that they learnt so many new songs for us too. The communication was fantastic and the guests absolutely loved the music. Highly, highly recommend! Thank you so much!
